Looking for a rugged fanless PC

Hi all. Not sure this is the right forum, because I'm looking for a complete prebuilt system, but since I'm looking for something fanless I figured I'd give it a shot. Move if appropriate.

I'm looking for a fanless, rugged low power (performance wise) pc. Rugged, not because it will be used in rugged conditions, but because I figure the capacitors and other motherboard components will be of higher quality. The reason is that this machine will be in use for at least half a decade (not in continuous operation). Hopefully something with no moving parts at all, so an SSD (of the SLC variety for greater longevity) is preferable. Budget is under $1500. The one major wrinkle is that it must be available in Canada. Processor should be Core Duo equivalent or above (no Intel Atom, ARM or AMD Geode). RAM should be at least 2GB, soldered on is ok. No real need for internal expansion capabilities, external I/O should have a minimum of two full size USB ports (three if theres no built in wifi) and that's really it. Graphics don't matter, as long as there's a modern (I.e. digital) output of some kind. Preferably no optical drive in keeping with the no moving parts thing.

I'm aware of the Fit-PC, which seems ok. Also, a few machines designed for HTPC use, but those seem like overkill. What I'm really looking for is a list of Arsian-tested products that i can research further. Thanks!

That Aleutia Relia looks super sweet. I would only put a SSD in it though, given how hot it can apparently get inside.A revision that had a separate compartment for more HDs below would make a terrific personal storage server.

I'd forget about a SLC based SSD unless you have very limited capacity needs. About the only vaguely affordable SLC SSDs are the Intel 313's which peak at 24GB, and you're still paying ~$4/GB compared to ~$1/GB for MLC based units.

Aleutia has been in the fanless and rugged niche for a long time with really good products that are used in third world environments where this stuff really matters. I'd always start with them as a reference point.
